<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 254643, member: 4552&quot;]Congradulations on all those coins. I too have a lot of Canadian coins. I just put them all in plastic tubes though. As to folders I hope you didn&#039;t mean the folders where you push coins into a slot and no back visiable. These are OK for kids but for a serious collection I would advise you not to use them. The reason is the general process in making them. The backing sheet is spread with a glue and the slotted page is placed on that. It is impossible for mass production to just put the glue where there would there is no slots for coins. Also, kids like the idea of a worn coin being able to wet the back page to make the coins stick in place now glued in. This means your coins have to be pressed in with usually a thumb leaving the coin with your sweat and oily fingerprint. Then the glue on the back surely is of no great help to your coins. </p><p>I would suggest you only used ALBUM types where there is plastic slides front and back. </p><p>If you can not find them for Canadian coins you may want to check out Whitman for blank album covers and pages. You can order any kind of pages and as many as you want. They would all be blue. Then Whitman has sheets of Gold colored press on letters and numbers. You could easily make your own Albums. </p><p>I use this system for adding additional pages to many Albums. For example I&#039;ve been adding pages to my Lincoln Albums for years to hold all from 09 to presenst. I just keep adding pages to my very old Albums. </p><p>I made a Dime Album for Liberty Head and Mercury and some Roosevelt Dimes all in one Album. 1892 to present. No proofs of course. Had to make my own cover since none they have would hold that many pages. </p><p>If your not particular you could go to either flea markets or coin shows or even some coin shops and buy anything in the way of Albums. Even used ones. Just use a permanent marker to wipe out what ever it was and write in what ever you want. Cheap but I&#039;ve done that also. Dose not look professional but for my own stuff, who cares.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
